Phillip Giambri

Phillip Giambri aka “The Ancient Mariner” left home at eighteen and never looked back. He’s seen and done what others dream of or fear. That’s how he lives and that’s what he writes.

His 2022 memoir “Good Boy, Bad Boy, A Better Man” reveals an unfictionalized Phillip. His 2020 novelette "The Amorous Adventures of Blondie and Boho" is a story of love, survival, and gentrification in NYC’s East Village and the chapbook "Poems from an Unending Pandemic" offers his perspective on NYC life during the COVID-19 pandemic. His 2017 chapbook "Love Borne in Retrograde" is a collection of love poems and erotica and the 2016 memoir "Confessions of a Repeat Offender" is a compilation of his performance stories and poems.

He is a 2020 Acker Award recipient for Storytelling and Community Service.
